Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and ocean sunfish (mola mola) - Clodmoor offers some of Cornwall & Devon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 10-18°C, warmest July, August, September.
Clodmoor, off the coast of Cornwall, is a shore entry site often overlooked for flashier wrecks. It’s a good spot for a relaxed shallow dive, particularly if you’re looking to test new gear or practice skills. We’ve found decent rock formations and plenty of crabs and anemones tucked into crevices. It’s not a thrill-seeker's dive, but it’s a reliable option when you want a straightforward dip without a boat.
